[FIREWALL]

This is great stuff. I have SH2 & DC in my collection.

Who Knows. Maybe UBI might surprise us with SH5.

We can always hope.

...are there any mods to improve the default ships? some of them are just god awful... the US Battleships for instance, and the US cruisers, they need to be lowerred to the waterline about almsot half, and there are no heavy Italian units making it impossible to make campaigns for some of the Med events

There are quite a lot of improved ships out there somewhere. KaptKirk's bundle probably has a lot of them.

There's a complete set of Italian ships that a group called Marcosom created. They made full mods for both SH2 and DC. All the ships are there including an aircraft carrier.

Raising/lowering ship's waterline is fairly easy. Open the corresponding unit file (UDF) and add a line like this
TRANSLATE = O,O,O

The three zeros represent the three different dimensions for shifting the ships position relative to the waterline. The middle one is up/down.

You need to experiment with the values .
Something like TRANSLATE = 0,-1,0 will lower it.

Here's an example from the stock Leander

;; NCLLeander.UDF - Leander class light cruisers
[UNIT]
Category = SHIP
Type = LT_CRUISER
Class = Leander
Model = NCLLeander
Origin = England
Date = 3505
Crew = 570
UpdatesPerSecond = 10
ExemptFromSilliness = TRUE
Preprocess = TRUE
Translate = 0,-0.5,0

excellent thank you, those crusiers are fairly good but it has been painful to see them riding so high in the water, as if they had no fuel on board, which is very unlikely way out to sea.

I would LOVE to see that italian package, is there a link or a website for that? I noted there were only Italian DD and light Cruisers and that is sad compared to the wonderful fleet that they developed. Their ships were some of the most advanced and beautiful of that era. Too bad their command was not up to the challenge, tho they faced many hurdles and a very limited sea area which was easiliy dominated by air power.

They should all be in the Mare Nostrum full mod below.

wow, that looks amazing. Those ships are excellent and it was very nice of them to create an entire English version of this. That looks like a very elegant and complete mod. Thank you so much for sharing that.

the actual english version of the mod is here:
